j. isaak – awake lyrics
verse 1:
i’m in it / been persistent / since the beginning / no limits / on what my mind can envision / i’m driven /
determined to accomplish my goals / i know / i’ll defeat all of my foes / i’m hot / better stop / drop / and roll / woah
been given / a very specific mission / to diminish / negativity / and be / a positive image / to children
tell them to not feel alone / god is just testing your soul / use all your trials to grow / and learn something that the teacher don’t know / learn something that the preacher don’t show / nowadays / see you gotta stay / woke /
or your no better than dead / thomas edison said / and i quote there is no subst-tute for hard work / so i’ma keep pushing even if my arms hurt / and yea ima eat but make sure my mom is first / and praise god at the altar
chorus:
there was a time i was blind / fell victim to the lies / but then i had to realize
/ the power of my eye / now i’m
awake / vision is not the same / cuz i’m awake /
see the truth in my gaze
verse 2:
making sure that my mind stays awake / making sure my eye keeps its gaze / cuz there so many lies in today
/ so i just try and keep my faith / see i often dream with my eyes open / i find my mind is the place that i find / hope in / when i’m hopeless / like why try focus / but i decide / not to subside and to die roped in / divine / signs / in the sky / say that i’m / chosen to bring change to our lives / and supply dopeness / and live up to our fullest design / before we run out of time / and we sink like the boat that you’ll find rose in /
t-tanic / can’t plan it / so why manage / cuz by my standards /y’all are just bystanders / to my hammers / making hits while minding all my manners / look at my grammar / kid is next put that on my grandma
chorus
verse 3:
since i was birthed / in the earth / had an unquenchable thirst / yearned / to learn / and observe
/ put me ahead of the curb / and now it’s my turn / to affirm / and get what was earned / never concerned
/ not sweating my perm / over you germs / i / was destined to win / just genetics my friend / tryna extend
/ my wealth to my kin / make sure they open they eyelids / and are free from the tyrants / now for the haters a moment of silence
chorus
end of song
